Today, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. FML

Today, I got a ticket for doing 38mph in a 45mph zone. Apparently you can be cited for "impeding traffic" even when you're the only car on the road. FML

Today, I received a traffic ticket by mail, presumably for speeding. Not a big deal, if my car hadn't been totalled three months ago. My driver's license is expired, too. FML

Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML

Today, I got a speeding ticket. My speedometer got busted a few weeks back, rendering it useless. My father, a former mechanic, decided it's not worth the trouble of going in and fixing it. "Just keep with traffic when you're on the highway; you'll be fine." This $150 fee says otherwise. FML

Were there signs?

Most officers I know are reasonable and respectable. The few who aren't ruin the reputation of the rest, similar to the idiots who ruin it for those who have some small amount of common sense.

... A school zone is a school zone.... Totally deserved it

Well, are there a lot of kids in that area? Were you aware that it was school zone and still speeding just because you thought it made no sense? Yes and yes? Deserve it. Yes/No/No idea and no? Then I say go to court because it wouldn't be fair if you had no idea.

If there were signs displaying the school zone speed limit, then YDI for disobeying them. If there weren't signs or anything telling you to drive at a reduced speed, then you can probably fight it.

YDI, if there are posted speed signs, you have to follow it whether or not the school is built. PLUS if the school is being constructed, there is also reduced speed limits for that.

Because children never actually live near schools. You do realize that the "school zone" is there to protect the children, not the school, right?

Sounds like something they'd do in Edmonton... Those money hungry b******

And for the comment about it being for the children not the school.. If there's no school built yet, there wouldn't be children running around would there
